The IBM PC community seems to have their act together more than we do, with
the Lotus-Intel-Borland extended memory spec.  Why can't there be a
hardware/software standard for addressing more than 64K and 128K of memory?
Does Apple plan to do anything about this except hope that third-party
vendors adopt the 'standard' embodied in their card?
